VR-120 Commander - version 0.1


This is freeware programming software for Yaesu's VR-120. 
It currently only works for the US model.
This software is in beta, so use with care. Though I have tested it, 
there are probably still bugs.

THANKS:
Big thanks go to Bob Parnass, AJ9S, for his pioneering work with his tk120 software. Without his work, VR-120 Commander would not have currently been possible. His software is available from:

http://www.parnass.com

I have done my best to support his .tk1 file format and CSV file format.
Unlike his software which will run on a variety of different operating systems, VR-120 Commander will only work on Windows platforms. VR-120 Commander also does not support all of the features available in tk120, but I will continue to build and improve it as time allows.


***DISCLAIMER***
This program is provided without warranty of any kind. If you use it and 
brain-dead your VR-120, that is your fault. If it screws up your PC, that is your 
fault.
All I can say is that this utility works for me.


LICENSE:
Please read the file LICENSE.txt for license information.


Tested on Win98SE, Win2000, WinXP.
If you have an error trying to run VR-120 Commander under Windows XP, run the Reg_XP.exe
file and click install.


This program was written in VB6. It requires msvbvm60.dll. Most 
people have it already. If you get an error, then obtain this file and place it 
in the VX7_Clone folder or in WIndows\System. Or better yet, download and 
install the Visual Basic 6 Runtime Files.


THE INTERFACE:

Many different interface designs will work. See Bob Parnass' page for more info.

I am using the same interface I use for my Icom Q7A, Icom R2, and VX-7R. It is the improved interface by SV1ENS. I use a 1/8" stereo connector instead of a 4 conductor for my Icom, with the data on the 2nd conductor.
Other designs that would probably work can be found here:
